Donders Institute Open Day – The Brain Show

Trigon building (Nijmegen

March 2112.00 - 17.00

How reliable is your brain, really? Find out for yourself during The Brain Show, the Donders Institute’s open day. On Saturday 21 March, we will be opening our doors to young and old alike for an afternoon full of wonder, with lab tours, escape rooms, short talks, experiments and experiences. This year’s theme is illusion: your brain is capable of many things, but it does not always see, feel and remember what you think it does.

Be surprised during this interactive afternoon for young and old and discover how researchers study the brain, cognition and behaviour. From short talks and lab tours to escape rooms and hands-on experiences: there is something to see, do and experience everywhere. You will find more information about the programme on the website of Donders Institute:
